review updtaes

Alright so I have to throw a wrench into the plans. i will not be reviewing fear and loathing in Las Vegas for a while. I could not make the video work and my best attempt was over an hour long so I will be moving on to the remake that has pissed me off the 2nd most of any. I refuse to even watch a seen of the one that pissed me off the most it might be a masterpiece but I will never watch The Day The Earth Stood Still REMAKE. So I will be making a video review A Nightmare On Elm Street REMAKE.n There will be much anger

 What the fuck Taco Bell commercial

OK so I am assuming that everyone knows about the whole Taco Bell beef deal (if not here is a news story on it    http://kealakai.byuh.edu/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=3510&Itemid=196 (i just did  a quick search to find it))

Well I just saw a Taco Bell commercial touting how great there beef is(Yeah right it's cat food) during Bob's Burgers right after the burger restaurant gets investigated for using human remains in the burger meat.

Now I do not know a lot about buying commercial time. But I think that somewhere in the contract they would have stated not to air the commercial after something like that i mean that is the worst connection the someone could make Taco Bell doesn't use all beef ----- Show has plot of Restaurant using Human remains.


This is why I massacre the media





Oh BTW I am filming the next movie review Tonight.(noter thr  Fear and loathing review is indefinetly delayed due to not being able to capture the what the fuckery right yet)

The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus

The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus

Well the first thing i have to say is I thought after watching this movie the 1st time  it was going to be one of those movies that the more you watch it the less you like it. This was not the case however because i noticed more things the second time through the premise does not get stupider as you go along unlike many many movies out today.

Onto the actual review
the first thing I'm going to talk about is How Terry Gilliam used contrast to make this movie interesting you watch the opening scene and it is this impossible cart that looks like It rode out of the 17th century and its juxtaposed to modern London. The visuals of this movie is amazing when the characters enter the Imaginarium it is just wonderful designs from Gilliam(who as I'm sure many of you know was the illustrator on Flying Circus) but the style changes with everyone who is in control of the Imaginarium. The visuals of this film are some of the best Ive seen. And well worth checking out this movie for.

The characters are rather enjoyable. Instead of writing out synopsis of the characters I'm going to copy synopsises from wikipedia because someone with much less of a life than me took a lot of time to put that together. (i know that is a scary thought someone with less of a life than me.)

Cast

The story is quite wonderful on the surface its about a man trying to save his daughter and a nice stranger trying to help him and his friends.

If you look into it more carefully it is much darker. It is about a drunken gambling addict. What Game is he addicted to GAMBLING WITH THE DEVIL Mr Nick is the devil hes the devil everything Doctor Parnasus does is to get another fix of Gambling with the devil. When he makes the Big decision to whether or not to let Tony help them he thinks of it in terms of a gamble. And he asks his almost 16 year old daughter  Valentina what to do. of course she wants to Ride  Tony like a penny horse outside of Meijers so i have to call into question her Judgement.




SPOILERS



Tony it turns out is just trying to hide from people he cheated and lied to. there is some questions whether or not the accusations made in the Imaginarium are real or not but it turns out Tony was hung  because he was selling the organs of children Mr Nick then to get Tony dead because of his pipe. (ill get to that in a minute) Makes one last wager with Parnasus He will let Valentina go if he kills Tony and Parnasus does this with a game of chance. Then after Parnasus wanders the desert slips into the real world. and you have to wonder was all that a delusional crack fantasy.



END  OF SPOILERS

the acting is great in this movie All the actors who played Tony did a great job.
It is hard to tell at first when the switch is made. Its nice to see Verne Troyer getting a chance to actually act. Only other time Ive seen that was when he was fighting Bruce Campbell when he was playing Napoleon.

The odds and ends to discuss are not that many. According to directors commentary the pipe that kept saving Tory's life is from the idea when you are hung by strangulation instead of the modern idea of the rope snapping your neck if you had something to hold your airway open you could survive so i can't fault the movie on that. he only real thing that is unanswered is how was Percy there we saw him in the monastery with Parnasus so did Mr Nick grant him immortality too or is that just a different person.

I would have to recommend that people go out and watch this movie rent it or borrow a copy from a friend. because that is what this movie was about friendship that is why the movie wasn't canceled after Ledgers death and why the end credits read

A film from Heath Ledger and Friends.

Definitely see this movie it is worth it just so you can get used to the visuals because Terry Gilliam's works only get weirder and more visually assaulting to you. i was going to make a video review of this movie then i deiced to save that for next time what will I review next.

Well as a great man once said  "buy the ticket take the ride."

This is why American Journalism is shit

I came across this.   http://www.foxnews.com/health/2011/02/04/study-moms-work-schedule-making-kids-fat/

and i just find it insulting. According to this if  are a mom and you work your kid will be fat. Why can't the Dad cook or shop? it gives no explanation. In fact it gives  no mention anywhere of a father or the idea of a child having 2 parents. This is just a shot at working mothers. There is no excuse for there not to be a mention that maybe break the "traditional roles' and have the parent who works less cook and do the shopping.

In the time it took me to log into my blog to write about this and the time i read it (<10 minutes). The expanded  article has appeared to have been taken down. So i am posting the original news bit that I came across and hopefully it will be put back up so you can read this.

As someone who comes from a home where both parents worked 40 or more hours a week I can tell you there is still time for a family meal to be cooked.

I will be trying to find the " February issue of the journal Child Development." and read them study. It might redeem the study as a scientifically valid study (still pointless since it is information we already know).

However the fact does not change that the Article written on it is slanted  and biased. There is nothing wrong with writing a biased piece my favorite journalist did it all the time. But Thompson admitted it.

You cannot change data that is bad journalism and that is why American journalism died when Hunter S Thompson blew his brains out. The last shred of dignity left American Journalism died with him. And I don't see a way we as a nation can get back the dignity we once had in the field of journalism.

I weep for future generations. What are they going to do when a major story breaks and the news is too busy covering which celebrity fuck-tard just flashed there asshole in public to cover A radical extremist just killed the president because space monkeys told him to(biggest most outlandish story I could think of off the top pf my head).
